competitive analysis. Also delivers in-depth reports on MEMS and sensors for IoT, as well as on light sensor and fingerprint sensor technologies.

10G-class fiber access technologies have begun to ship in volume and in the long term growth will be driven by demand for higher-capacity access networks to serve enterprises and residential customers. We expect the ramp up to materialize from 2019 onward, as telcos will need to compete with each other and cable MSOs offering gigabit services as well as position themselves to support mobile transport.

US telecommunications equipment maker CommScope will acquire Arris, in a $7.4B deal valued at $5.69 billion, with the difference comprised of CommScope’s assumption of Arris’s debt. As part of the deal, the Carlyle Group will make a $1M equity investment in CommScope for an approximate 16% stake in the new company.
CommScope’s CEO Eddie Edwards has claimed the two companies’ product lines are complementary, and that the combined company will “enable end-to-end wired and wireless communications infrastructure solutions that neither company could otherwise achieve on its own.”
The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2019.

Broadband World Forum has finally come of age, celebrating its 18th edition this year in what continues to be the annual meeting point for the broadband industry. Messe Berlin opened its doors to more than 4100 attendees from more than 1500 organisations that gathered to share, learn and promote anything broadband. Historically, Broadband World Forum has been a telco-centric show and that was particularly evident this year. For a market that is purportedly converging, the cable side of the industry was absent as it was busy attending Cable-Tec Expo on the other side of the Atlantic.

For journalists who follow the latest news and trends in consumer electronics, IHS Markit analysts will be available for commentary ahead of and onsite at IFA 2018 in Berlin, Germany, from August 31 to September 5, 2018.

With the electronics architectural landscape for vehicles changing dramatically in the next 15 years, automotive sensors are also undergoing their own evolution in response to new requirements on performance, safety, Big Data analysis, robustness, security, and economy.

Electrification of the car engine and its impact on automotive sensors
Post-2020, European legislation has proposals in place that specify 95g CO2 / km, and a vision to reach 70g CO2 / km by 2025. Although hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV) are emerging, the wider adoption of electrification is viewed as still being the main approach to meet these CO2 commitments...

What the increasing standardization of emissions testing and regulations mean for automotive sensors As the world moves toward harmonizing vehicle emission standards and new testing regulations, what do these developments mean for the automotive sensors market? The question is an important one, especially at a time of unprecedented flux for the automotive industry. In the face of two factors...
